Review of mental care provided to Valdo Calocane before he stabbed three people finds litany of failures
Ian Coates, Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar died when they were attacked by Valdo Calocane in Nottingham last year. Photograph: PAwhile psychotic, say police and doctors have “blood on their hands” after a damning report laid bare a series of failures by mental health services.
Later, in June 2023 during an overnight rampage through Nottingham city centre, he stabbed to death 65-year-old Ian Coates and 19-year-old students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar, whose mother Sinead O’Malley is a doctor from Ireland. Calocane also stole Mr Coates’s van and used it to run over three more victims, causing them serious injuries.
Wes Streeting, Britain’s health secretary, said Tuesday’s CQC report was “shocking” and he had ordered England’s NHS that no more patients should be released after being sectioned if there was evidence they were not taking their medication. “The risk presented to the public was not managed well and opportunities to mitigate that risk were missed,” said Mr Dzikiti.
